A former Wetherspoons site in Crystal Palace has been put up for sale for the second time after closing seven years ago.

The Grape and Grain, in Anerley Hill, on the border of Croydon and Bromley, closed its doors in November 2017.

A planning application was approved by Bromley Council to extend the building in May 2019.

This included two storeys on top of the existing pub, as well as a three-storey addition on the Church Road side of the building and roof garden.

All development projects of the new build were put on hold as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

On August 11, 2023, Wetherspoons confirmed that it was no longer looking to develop the pub and that the site was put up for sale.

However, on April 9, the popular chain decided not to sell and it was looking to redevelop the site.  

In an update on August 7, a spokesperson for Wetherspoons said it has once again decided to put the site on the market.

The spokesperson added: “This is a commercial decision by the company.

“Wetherspoon will not be developing the site.”
